With Bulgarian stopper Vladislav Stoyanov having been sent off in the 119th minute, the Romanian centre-back donned the gloves - and claimed glory

Ludogorets FK Razgrad have sensationally made their way into the Champions League - thanks to two penalty saves from defender Cosmin Moti!

The Romanian defender stepped in goal against Steaua Bucharest in the Champions League playoffs on Wednesday evening, and denied his countrymen in incredible scenes in Sofia.

Steaua looked on course for the group stages with a 0-0 draw on the night enough to secure their progression as the game reached 90 minutes.

However, at the death, substitute Wanderson notched for the Bulgarian side.

The two teams would then play out a goalless extra-time, but in the 119th minute Vladislav Stoyanov was sent off for the hosts, and having used all of their substitutes, Georgi Dermendzhiev's side appeared done for, with penalties fast approaching.

However, 29-year-old Moti - who has never played outside of Eastern Europe, bar four games with Siena in 2008-09 - took the gloves and performed heroics in the shootout.

First, he buried the opening spot-kick, then his Bruce Grobbelaar-style antics enabled him to make two crucial saves from the spot.

And what's more, he had spent SEVEN YEARS playing for Steaua's bitter rivals, Dinamo Bucharest.
